How so?

I mean:

Is p good...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Noonski:
Actually nope, it was Pulser having a bit of fun.

Because I just had the device half a day and needed to discharge it a few times and it took what looked like hours. ;)

My Body is a temple, out with the bad,..... ueh wait I meant Phone.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] wackyguy_07:
Oops, I thought someone said that Ninpo didn't have CWM. My bad.

I don't need the app. Just the CWM recovery. And sorry I didn't get what you're trying to say by pull and backup. Do you mean that I can restore a backup of the CWM app from Titanium Backup?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] d3sm0nd:
I'm getting a lot of FC's on random apps after upgrading to 2.5.

Is this normal?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
Depends what ROM you're coming from and if you've installed any tweaks, themes etc.

Did you wipe cache and dalvik cache if coming from previous version or did you do full wipe if coming from a different ROM. These are the basic steps. We need more info as has been said over and over when posting about problems.

---------- Post added at 08:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:53 PM ----------

I can't remember exactly what it was last time but this time was social hub email client as said. I've just looked at it again on the battery stats and its not been active since I changed my kernel back. It's very strange why a kernel would have this effect. It's all good now and I'm enjoying using another quality VR distribution :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ness23:
I think i just bricked my phone by trying to install KI4 after installing VR 2.5

Now all i can see is a pic on my screen of a phone, an exclamation mark and a pc....what does this mean and is there anyway is i fix it?

p.s. i can get into download mode but cant get cwm. HELP
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] d3sm0nd:
I'm coming from the previous version of VillainROM. I tried wiping dalvik cache and fixing permission issues with recovery... didn't work.

I'm not sure what caused this... the problem might be because i removed unneeded system apps with root explorer.

Will try to flash the ROM again and see if this resolves the problem... just FYI
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] richiewill83:
I think this boot symbol means no Modem found or something to that affect, it happened the other day to me.

Are you using Oding to flash modem? Make sure you have 'phone' selected and the correct .Tar file loaded. Then try flashing again
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chrisjcks:
Only fc ive had was on the youtube app, i deleted and re-installed from the market - no fc's yet.

I love the much clearer font!

And thanks to the guy who created the PureBlue theme, as ive took his lockscreen picture :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] IINexusII:
you've bricked the phone, ull have to flash the firmware using Odin to bring youre phone back to life
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ness23:
The file i downloaded didnt even have a .Tar file, it was just a .zip

I dont even know how to go back to my other modem because that has no .Tar either because i installed from cwm
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nikzDHD:
Extract the zip.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] richiewill83:
If it is the .zip that Infratech posted then you can run it on a pc and it will extract a modem.tar file to a location which you can specify.

Once unzipped, you can flash the modem via Odin. If you are unsure of using odin, do a search, there are loads of postas about it. If you struggle then pm me.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ness23:
so should i flash the VR 2.5 or the older version i had?

Also i dont want to make another mistake so should i put the .tar in the 'PDA' section or the 'Phone' section
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chrisjcks:
Why are people who dont understand all these:

.tar .zip CWM modem kernel csc pda recovery/download odin

....even flashing/installing custom ROMs?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jhernand1102:
I think you will need to flash the stock firmware using Odin and then you can root and install this ROM again.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] OCmylife:
The Rom Noonski COULD drain the battery fast on 2.5 :D

With the Nimphetamine kernel you`ve included my phone gets really hot and the battery drains like hell. In use in 20 min ~avg 10% while browsing through the Internet. This phenomenon I had with Cyanogenmod Nightly 58 also. When I looked at Cpu spy it is most of the time clocked @1,2 Ghz.

Switched to Speedmod kernel

->problem solved

Anyone else have this kind of problem?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
A good question, one many people maybe need to ponder...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
If anyone has issues like this, can you use the new option in task manager to log battery and cpu usage. It's in status tab. Saves to root of sdcard
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ness23:
How will people learn?

I learnt how to unlock my phone, how to install a custom rom and a modem through using this site and through peoples help.

When forums are no longer used for helping people and for people just to sit on a high horse where will we all be?

I just need a little help, i made a mistake now im coming to you guys for some advice, thats all :o
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chrisjcks:
Pulser - i must say, this new font is friggin awesome!

The text is much MUCH clearer.

For that alone, this update was worth it. :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] killall:
No, he means he has added the option to VillainTweaks (which is an app you can use to get tweaks for 2.5.0)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Adilking:
You guys over at VillainROM are awesome, I think I like the Cyanogen theme more but I'll be currently staying with VR because of the awesome support and friendliness.

I have noticed similarly to a guy above the battery seems to drain pretty quick just surfing the net for a while.

Attached some pics of the stats - Went from 97% to 67% from 1 hour of usage??

The screen is reported on for 1 hour 5 mins but the 'internet' app only 15 mins, i'm pretty sure the internet app was on for more than that, maybe 40 mins? Is it possible to be reported wrongly?? Either it was reported wrong or my Hyperactivity (Sure I have ADD/ADHD) makes me think it was longer when it wasnt...

Brightness screen was on half, only data was on.. everything else off.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chrisjcks:
Just wondering, Is there a tweak for this rom to add the in-call recording?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Nebucatnetzer:
Battery Life is good here. Actually as awesome as always.

Autoscreenbrightness

SetCPU Profile: Screen Off -> 200-500Mhz Conservative

Music via Bluetooth
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Not as of yet. If you search, I suggested an app a while back. The "tweak" was from the Korean model, and some features were lost in the process if you did so...

Might be a better option for now?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chiggah:
What do I need to do here coming from Cognition 1.5.1 ?

Wipe data/cache/dalvik and install via CWM zip file ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
Loving the new tweaks in VRTweaks especially the notification bar tweak and homebutton lagfix. Awesome work
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
If it's the "look" you like, I'm sure you can find an "AOSP" theme for VR. You can install ADW Launcher (ADW Ex is worth the couple of quid as well), and disable touchwiz. :)

Try Ninphetamine 2.0.5 if you want, and perhaps try KH3 radio or KI1 radio...

It looks good that your battery slope levels out after you stopped using the screen. I am guessing that your screen is on fairly bright, and using a load of power.

Ignore the figure for internet - that is for the time using CPU, not the time running...

Or... long press home, pick storage, and start the debug logging of battery. You will get 2 log files in the root of your sdcard. Let it run for some hours, while you use it normally.

There should be no personal info in those, beyond the amount of time spent in which app... Post them up after a few hours and we can see if there's any indications.

But for now I think this is screen drain. you could try ninphetamine kernel 2.0.5 if you wanted...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yes. Backup first etc :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
Exactly what you said, cant go wrong.

EDIT: Damn beaten by Pulsar
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Chuck Norris made that post. And no human can post faster than Chuck :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Adilking:
Ah that sounds great, Will check that out after my phone is done charging :P

Would make it ever more awesome...

Eh If I'm honest I don't fancy changing up the firmware, Doesn't seem much difference betweek KF3 KH3 KI1 etc..

The screen was on middle of the brightness setting, not bright but not dark dim either..

May look into trying the logging after I test it another day or so, I've only had it one day so far so I don't want to judge it...

Also would there be major difference between the ninphetamine that comes with VR and 2.0.5 - Whats the version difference?

P.S - Thanks for confirming internet time is not correct its cpu time, I thought my ADD/ADHD hyperactivity was causing me to misjudge time ahaha!

Thanks massively for the help, really appreciate it..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kenkiller:
Yes, can confirm as well, the Talk client does not have video chat included. But sending messages is fine.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] obionenairobi:
Am extremely impressed with the 2.5 !

Very responsive and again a quality ROM from Pulser - Cheers Mate !

I have already been messing the config up by installing

% GREEN Battery Mod VILLAIN ROM 2.4.2 (GB style - stock TW) which gave me numerous and after I reflashed 2.5 it is OK.

Should have known better not to install the battery mod and I will wait if the updated version comes out

Does anybody know if it was Jkay that made this one ?

Some other questions that spring to mind:

- I have a zip file to disable the increasing ring tone. Is that something that would still work ?

- Can anyone donate the default fonts from KH3 so that I can use it with 2.5 ?

I am still not sure about the new fonts. It is nice for labels but awfull in my e-mails

P.S.

had the new modem installed but had some quality issues - dropping calls, lots of static and other party had robot like voice - No I was not to a robot :-)

I meanwhile reinstalled KH3 modem
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Guitarfreak26:
Ahh just noticed ive lost my extended power menu, i flashed the mod from villain tweaks first but then ive installed the updated theme by zeubug and my phone reboots if i hold power button..

oops :P
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Jason93:
I don't think so.I uploaded my modified Phone.apk..No icreasing ring tone and Noisesuppression off by default.(Page 258 Post 2577);)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chiggah:
Anyone tested both Ninphetamine 2.1.3 versus Speedmod T40 ? Which is more responsive and gives better battery life ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
That will have overwritten framework-res.apk
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
I will make a font zip tomorrow I think, and gtalk video :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Guitarfreak26:
Any quick fix without a wipe? :P
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
2.0.5 was the one I used for several weeks without even a reboot :) It was very good, but I remember talk of less battery life after updating to 2.1.3 from a couple of people
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Adilking:
Interested in this too :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Put back in the two parts from vrtweaks and it will be OK
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Guitarfreak26:
Anyway to get the zeubug theme working? I really love the blue battery :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
The themer would need to add power menu support. Or you could try adding it :p
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Adilking:
Installed ADW Launcher,

I cant find the ADW Launcher settings, did some searching and apparently which ROM your running can affect where/how you access the settings..

Any advice where I can find ADW Settings in villainrom? Thanks..

KI1 seems to be good paired with VR2.5 and Ninpo...

good battery life so far....also seems to be getting full bar whereas on KH3 i normally have 3 bars on certain wifi spot !
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] obionenairobi:
And how do I install the .apk ? when I double click it from the file manager it starts to install but does not complete succesfully : "Application not installed"

Would be interested to find the disabling ring tone mod without the noice canceling
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] OCmylife:
I`ve made the same mistake :D Reflash this Rom with Full wipe and will test the Nimphetamine Kernel 2nd time. When I will get the same bad battery life I will post a screen with Cpu spy and Battery consumption screen.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rbalu72:
+1 KI1 seems to be doing good...

btw what is the significance of colour on the bar shown by battery graph for phone signal ?? I see Red (very few occasions), yellow (mostly) and green (infact I could see green colour only with KI1, does this mean anything significant??)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Don't install these type of APKs. Push them into /system/app and reboot :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yes... Red means very low signal, yellow means fairly low signal. Green means good signal.

Suggests you get a better signal with KI1 :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] OrangePL:
I'm getting constant FCs of com.android.phone after updating from 2.4 to 2.5 and it's losing signal.

Anyone having this?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mynamesteve:
Installed any mods? did you try a full wipe?

MOAR INFO PEOPLE!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] OrangePL:
I had the theme GingerWay_BlueOcean SGS2 Port R1.1 installed previously and did a cache/dalvik wipe prior to updating to VR2.5

I guess a full wipe is all that's left now.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chiggah:
How do you do a full wipe ?

All I know is just doing a wipe data/cache/dalvik
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mb:
Fantastic work Mr P and I've certainly experienced "perfection being more perfect". KI radio is great on O2 UK.

I've given up with Lite variants. The font on Gilgamesh's last release did my head in (sorry G).

Easier just to remove the unwanted APKs with Root Explorer. Did it this morning on the train and nothing's broken yet.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jameslfc5:
What font does this use please? it's amazing!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] richiewill83:
Hi guys

I have flashed to 2.5 and as always very impressed thanks very much pulsar.

Small issue thou, I have lost the voltage settings in setcpu? Is this a restriction with the kernal being used?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] valdigre:
I had a very weak signal on I1 radio and installed H3.

I have a much better Wifi signal strength now and more importantly, I get 100%-200% better bandwidth speeds on O2 IE.

I1 not so good for me :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mynamesteve:
That is a full wipe.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jameslfc5:
Is the new font a KI4 thing or a rom thing?

Edit: just checked and I'm not even on KH4 :s?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cle_m_ent:
My feeback,

The battery lost 10% per hour... :/ And this night, 10% in 8 hours on Flight mode...

I think it's not good... But the I1 modem improove 3G...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
No, this kernel supports voltage (I'm using it :))
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Try Ninphetamine 2.0.5 kernel, as it was better for me. I am trying to see if this is affecting others too.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
If the ROM shows as VillainROM 2.5, you are on KI4.

Radio version is different, you could try KI1 if you want (Intratech's thread)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Adilking:
Just giving you another stat so you can gather more info -

Left phone overnight went from 100% to 96%

Vibration only, No apps running, No syncing etc. No screentime.

Im practically running stock, nothing on my phone :)

I checked the usage and it did wake up for some reason for a very small amount of time but I doubt that made a difference.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chiggah:
Is this on 2.0.5 nimphetamine ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Lennyuk:
no 2.1.3

it does say in the OP
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chiggah:
Yeah i know but i meant the test based from the post i quoted
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
framework-res & twframework-res in /system/app

hi,

downloaded 2.5 and visualized the contents of the zip...

the framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk are in /system/framework (normal)

and in /system/app (abnormal).

is that for any reason or only a despiste?

thx
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Lennyuk:
oops LOL how did I miss that quote :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Lennyuk:
this was discussed earlier in the thread, the /system/app entry was an anti-kanging attempt, that has obviously failed because too many of you have eager eyes.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] netcitizen:
any reason why KI4 firmware has KI1 modem? mostly both the numbers used to be the same.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Lennyuk:
that was just a coincidence, radio firmware versions often differ from the build numbers of the roms, they are completely separate items.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AIRagon:
Data Toggle

Hi Pulsar,

I must admit I've tried almost all available SGS II Roms, and I found my self always coming back to VR,

From

my point

of view VR is the most stable & professional ROM, I'm using it as my daily driver on my Pro phone and never had a single problem :). Besides, I've learned a lot reading your thread. Many thanks for that.

Only one thing is missing for me :

I've posted an open question a few pages before, and did'nt get an answer so I assume my question was idiot :p

Anyway, taking the risk to be flamed, I would like to know if there is a possibility to get in VRTweaks a tweak to add Data toggle in the notification bar, I say VR Tweaks because I understand the All VRTweaks mods are validated by you pulsar,

By possibility, I mean can someone be kind to do it, I would love to do it my self, but my kowledge is more than basic :o

I've seen other methodes to do it in the Forum but they do not fit my need (keep VR as clean as possible with only data toggle addition)

Tried to search the hole thread for "Data" and "toggle", didn't find any post,

Currently using a widget, I think many persons could be interested in this

Well !! Ouf !! It's done, the stupide question is asked :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] superleeds27:
Does VillainROM contain modded Camera? so we can take pictures using the Zoom button?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] richiewill83:
Thanks

Flashed back to Ninph 2.05 and voltages now present.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] superleeds27:
Is 2.05 better then the latest?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Not included. If you have a link to that modification it could go into VRTweaks perhaps :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yeah something like that is easily possible :) I guess I Must have missed your last post then. Sounds a good idea actually :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Some find 2.0.5 is better...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] the4finger:
So probably an idiotic question but hows the performance of KI1 as apposed to KH3?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jameslfc5:
This is what I get?

What font is it btw?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] eybee1970:
...better in look and feel, scrolling in homescreens much better (no lags at all), no differences in any benchmarking so far
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
sorry, is possible to have the standard bootanimation with your rom?

another sorry... a user can be provide a link to the modem for this rom?

Voltage Settings Resetting?

Hi Pulser,

Great rom as usual and all is working well so far. 1 problem though, and I read someone else with the same problem a couple of pages ago. I ditched Setcpu for Voltage Control Lite and it seems much more responsive and easier to use in my opinion. I always underclock to 200 - 800mhz max, however, since I upgraded to VR 2.5 the cpu reverts to 1200mhz max after every reboot?! I put it back to 800, save all settings as boot, like I did before, nevertheless it always goes back to 1200 again on reboot. Any suggestions guys? Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
That's all correct, the baseband is just your modem which you have the freedom to choose from the various available in the forums as depends on a number of factors to which is best. I've just updated to KI1 and all seems good so far.

As for font, that is not a ROM specific font it's the new default option within the KI4 build which annoyingly also happens to just be called default. I've changed mine to Helvetica S I think it is from the display menu as find the new font too bold on certain screens like messaging.

---------- Post added at 01:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:45 PM ----------

I find that network signal quality and wifi is on par haven't really looked in detail but then again may be different for you especially being the other side of the world from me lol definitely worth giving it a go though.

---------- Post added at 01:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:48 PM ----------

I've reverted to 2.1.0 which I always found on par with 2.0.5 but personal choice of course. Both have been better for me than 2.1.3 as had wakelocks from apps or services I've never seen appear on my battery status screen before which was rectified by just changing kernel. Definitely better battery life on the earlier versions for my phone but seems to be different for different phones similar to OC/UV is.
